The Lean Office for Lean, CI, and OPEX Managers

Why should I use The Lean Office?

Save Time

Spend less time setting up, executing, and following up on improvement activities

Better Results

Improvements get executed faster, and results are easier to see and share with others

Easier Collaboration

Your team stays connected across locations, and successes are shared and celebrated as a team

Continuous Improvement managers divide their time between planning and conducting events, managing follow-up on action items, and reporting on the company’s improvement efforts. Each stage has its own challenges, and The Lean Office is here to help throughout the process.

✓ People attending events or involved in activities see and experience momentum of changes

Reporting & Improvement PR

Problems:

Hard to show benefits of Lean/CI initiatives within the company, people question the return.

Data gathering to support improvement work takes significant time.

After results are gathered, most in the organization still aren’t aware.

Solution:

Each module’s management page is built to provide an instant status update on action items tied to an event or activity in real time. Data is collected as part of the process, and reports and visuals tell the story for your team. A few features:

Kaizen Events include an “impact” section, which can be rolled up to show YTD global impacts

Data on action item completion and timing is captured as part of the process

Real-time reports and visuals help keep the team aware between update meetings

Gemba Walks

Every part of The Lean Office focuses on making your team’s work visible. Real-time visuals and reporting help you identify trends, and put out fires before they start .
